This banner's picture is actually of StepMania's editor. Here you see some of the BPM changes and tempo stops in "Koi wo Shiyouyo." It looks like a nightmare to attempt, but trust me, it's actually a lot of fun to play this song. ^.^

Simfile Database A spreadsheet containing a full listing of every song in every pack I offer here, and informs you of the difficulty selections available for each song. Now on Google Docs, with pack banners! Last updated August 9, 2016.

Disclaimer: If I have your pack offered here on my website, I am hosting it on my own filesharing account somewhere, and since my OCD screams at me on occasion, as a result, I reserve the right to do the following with your pack as hosted here:* Change naming conventions/stylizing for title, subtitle, and artist. I dislike all-caps or caps in odd places (such as in name stylizing) unless I can tell it was done for a very specific reason, or unless I know or believe it's an acronym. Otherwise, I'll probably change it. (For compatibility's sake, however, if at all possible, I do not change folder names, no matter how ridiculous they get, as at least SM3.95 uses folder directory for storing high score data.)* Convert your videos to what takes up the least space and works best on an ITG2 machine: a muted small-res Avi file. Videos should never have sound in the first place if there's a music file in the folder, and large resolutions lag ITG2 machines.

If you want the original version of any of the packs I offer here, they are found in R21Freak's Dropbox Database.

Every few months or so, I induct picks from other stepartists' packs into my compilation packs. The first is a pack of stuff that's fun to play, the second is more serious, tougher, and less-fun (although still sensible).Note: Since there's one replacement in each pack, I cannot really provide an Update item for either, and unfortunately need to mandate that players re-download the entire pack(s).

DDR Essentials PackSize: 97 Songs (193 MB)97 of the most popular songs from Dance Dance Revolution, from 1st Mix through to Supernova (in other words, when DDR was good; personally, I think that since then, Konami has largely - though not completely - forgotten how to write good charts). Version 2 of this compilation now sees that 19 of these have Ace Of Hearts edits (below).

Please note that this pack will not be compatible with the formal DDR packs when playing StepMania Online due to massive all-caps changes in both titles and folder names.

Ace Of Hearts EditsI wrote edits for 19 of the songs in question, paying as much attention to the old-school stuff as the modern songs. More will be coming in the future, that I can promise.

Simfile Pack Mirrors

* Please note that if your StepMania's BackgroundTransitions folder is missing scripts, some of the ITG songs may crash your StepMania when they try to reference a script you don't have (i.e., FadeUp or SlideLeft, things like that). If this is the case, you can acquire what you need here; that should fix things - it goes in the main StepMania CVS folder.

* Abbreviations in parenthesis refer to its designation in the database as it appears on its sheet tab.

In The Groove Rebirth 2 (ITGR2)Size: 78 Songs (293 MB)Type: Semi-Official/All Songs Have All 5 DifficultiesYear of Release: 2011This beta 2.0 version is finished, chart-wise, and has all the banners/backgrounds. It only lacks special in-game background elements like animations and videos.

TranceManiaSize: 10 Songs (167 MB)Type: Formal/All Songs Have All 5 DifficultiesYear of Release: 2013Author: T0niNote: This pack contains only long-version trance songs, so only download/play it if you like long stuff.

Mungyodance

Mungyodance is a unique series; Renard doesn't write Novice charts, and using a modified SM 3.9 engine meant he couldn't use rolls. However, most songs have 4 difficulty levels (Easy-Expert) and there are quite a lot of unique and fun charts in these packs despite these relatively minor setbacks. Take note that I personally fixed a few forgotten difficulty fixes and put the subtitles in the Subtitle fields, so these iterations of the Mungyodance packs will absolutely not be compatible with others.

Gpop's Touhou Pad Packs

Touhou Pad Pack 1Touhou Gouyoukyou ~ Touhou Pad PackSize: 29 Songs (170 MB)Type: Formal/All Songs Have All 5 DifficultiesYear of Release: 2010Author: Gpop* Please note that this pack required a folder name length fix for "Wouldn't Cucumber-Flavored Beer Be Nice to Drink!", which originally included its subtitle and was so long Windows XP did not recognize it as a folder that had contents.

Spooty Biscuit's Touhou Packs

Gensokyo DaydreamSize: 44 Songs (180 MB)Type: Formal/All Songs Have All 5 DifficultiesYear of Release: 2012Author: R. Uchima (Spooty Biscuit)* Note: This is an r21Freak collaboration project, but it is still a Touhou pack, so it's in this category. Being an r21Freak collab vouches for its quality. * Now with all-caps name fixes.

Challenge Packs: Artist-Themed

Pendulum (Act 1: Hold Your Colour) [version r2]Size: 30 Songs (225 MB in 2 Parts)Type: Multi-Difficulty Variety ChallengeYear of Release: 2012Author: Ian Pyles (Archi)All songs in this pack have all 5 difficulty levels, but the spread is biased toward difficult charts due to it being a challenge pack; Novice charts are 1s, but for the most part, all other difficulties Easy and up are 9+ feet. This pack's maximum difficulty is 16.

Challenge Packs: Other Stuff

Loaded FuturePackSize: 11 Songs (36 MB)Type: Special ChallengeYear of Release: 2010Author: Mad MattPlease Note: As appropriate for its name, this pack is full of highly technical, futuristic-feeling charts - there is tons of footswitch, bracketing, and one-foot in this pack. If you're uncomfortable with advanced playtricks, this pack will frustrate you. Also, easier difficulties simply remove the more difficult elements of a chart for practice purposes (i.e., no footswitch, no one-foot); this pack is not for beginners.
